I am looking to find a program that will allow me to sync todo lists, notes and grocery lists between me and my girlfriend. Free would be nice. What does everyone recommend?
Evernote

Springpad and Catch are also worth looking at.

definitely reccomend Gtasks. Everything syncs with gmail so you'll never loose your tasks when changing phones.
My wife and I use Our Groceries, which is pretty much our only option, because she has an iPhone and it's the only app I've found that will sync our lists across my Nexus S and her iPhone 4.
Springpad is the best. Evernote is polished but isn't really intuitive

I'm using Springpad and quite like it
+1 for gtasks. But -7 for the price.
Catch is free, and available on both iPhone and Android (and web) https://catch.com/
Confused by the choices. However springpad has a upper hand since it also has to do list.

Springpad for me as it allows you to access notes when you don't have an internet connection, also has iPhone/iPad app.

+1 for Catch
Hello,
I don't know about task list/todo functionality (don't think it has that) but I really like Catch. Is an awesome notes application, and I've used the same account over an iphone and two android phones (and kept the same persistent notes all the way through, has been great!). As well, it has decent browser access, so you can access/create/edit notes on your pc. You can attach pictures to notes as well in the free version. All notes will be stored on both your phone and on catch servers, thus no worries regarding losing them. (If you work for the CIA, I wouldn't use Catch to store state secrets, but don't think the average user needs to worry )
As the base version is free, I'd definitely check it out! Easy for yourself and your girlfriend to sign in to the same catch account, then you share the same notes

Hey there,
I have decided that I truly despise the native windows mobile facebook app. Is there any other (preferably free) ones that are good? I do think the current iphone one is quite good and easy to use, is there anyway to use that on the HD2? The WinMo one is just a pain in the arse to be honest.
Thanks
xx
I just use the touch site, works well, better than the native app.
the touch site lots of times doesnt work for sending messages it doesnt recognize when i type into the box
Hi all,
I've tried the facebook mobile site, touch site, facebook lite and market place app and they all have bad points. The worst is not all your friends status updates show. I tend to use the full site on my HD2 internet browser. Saves loads of problems. Will probably keep on using it till we get a good facebook app that is similar to the iphone app
can't really agree that the iphone facebook app is all that great though...
privacy issues is one thing, where syncing your contact with the iphone facebook app allows facebook the right to own every contact information in your iphone!
and their syncing system allows strangers on facebook to be synced to your iphone contacts... perhaps they synced it with contact information they got from other iphone users, based on phone no.s and etc, but ignoring country and area codes, which ends up syncing your iphone contact to a stranger in facebook, because they have the same phone no. (excluding country code)... that alone is scary enuf...
at least i'm happy with HD2's manila facebook integration, a little manual, but safer, and the album viewing is just smooth, with auto update of the avatar on the phone...
the app is not that impressive them, i have to admit... but iphone's privacy violation just gives me the jitters...
Preferably one with a widget where I can quickly view, create, and edit a list of the things I need to do that day. Suggestions?
That would be awesome. I need the same thing. I got a wedding coming up and I have so much to do.

I'll second Astrid.
I just use the google calendar.... it seems easier to enter the stuff in on my pc....you can do it from the phone too... and then just use the calendar widgets....
I set "to-do" things as all day events.

No can do. I'm not about to clutter my calendar with things like "pick up laundry."
I've used "color note" for a while. Basically a sticky note style widget, but the To-do features were surprisingly good. Very easy to add tasks and check them off. Of course, evernote is just awesome simply because your notes are everywhere, but I find it to be too much for the kind of quick To-do list you're talking about.

I also use astrid, but i have used one that syncs my notes online too so that when i reformat my phone and try a different rom (once a day kinda thing for me lol) i dont lose my todo list for my job. i'll have to try to find the name of that one, but if you look in the market it should be easy to find, their main feature is it syncing online and they put it right in the description.
Eh, I tried Astrid, but the widget is horrible.

I like color note... I mainly use it for the note part, but there is a checklist as well.

ok - now you're talking my language. I live and die by my task manager.
I use the ToodleDo task manager at the office. Its a pretty solid task manager and does everything I need it to (which is pretty extensive) in the free version. There's a web interface where you login to the website to access your tasks (which are all stored online), but there's also FF addon that adds instant access to your tasks in a FF sidebar - this makes adding and editing tasks on the fly quick and easy. They only provide that web access though, so although it can be accessed by a mobile browser (meh), they have no android presence.
Here's where it gets interesting.
I have an app called Got To Do, which is a pretty decent android task manager in its own right, but what's cool is that it can also sync up with my ToodleDo account online. So the app gives instant access to all of my ToodleDo tasks. They have a widget, but it's not that great.
But I also have the Pure Calendar widget (which is an a amazingly customizable agenda-showing calendar widget), which can sync up with Got To Do.
So the bottom half of my main homescreen is the Pure Calender widget, not only showing me agenda items from my exchange and google calendars, but also my relevant tasks from ToodleDo/GotToDo. And I have Pure Calendar to open Got To Do when pressed, so my tasks are always one click away. I find myself accessing my tasks almost exclusively from my Evo at this point because of how easy it is.
Elegant productivity enhancement, or just OCD? You decide.
And before it comes up, the cpu and battery drain from all this syncing have been negligible on BS.
I use gtasks. It auto syncs with my Google Tasks on my gmail account and has a simple and nice looking widget. It is also very simple, which is what I was looking for.

Use the app Gtasks, anything you put in will go to your task list on google calendar, thus eliminating clutter.
Or an alternative is to use the app Jorte -- it's a calendar app/widget that links with your google calendar. You can create more than one calendar on google calendars, and turn of the visibility of the new calendar while viewing your calendar online.

Not at all, but unless you can recommend an app that I can use to blur out some name and company info from a shootme screenshot, it won't be till later.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone uses their Fire as a day planner of sorts... I use mine for notes and stuff already and was wondering if anyone knows of a useful calendar app that would sync between my Kindle and my phone.. Also, my notes don't sync either, so if you know of an app that does that, it would be a bonus!
Thanks in advance!
By the way, I'm rooted, but running stock, but do have regular market

I use cozi on my KF, Blackberry, and computer. They all sync together immediately when a change is made. I sync my college calendar and my daughters school calender into it as well. My wife uses it on her phone and computer also so we both know each others schedules. She works first shift and i work second plus going to college so its been perfect for us. It has calendar, to do lists, and shopping lists. I used to forget to tell her to pick something up at the store when she went shopping. Now i just put it on cozi when i think of it and she sees it on her phone when she goes. There is a free with ads version and a paid with no ads version. You can download it on amazon for the KF and at their website for your phone and computer.

Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation for a calendar app. I use google calendar for everything, and I find the stock app that comes with the tf700 to be a little limiting...

is my calender of choice. You can even add events with your voice!
Those other suggestions are good as well, but just to look at another option, I've been using Business Calendar (got it in April 2011 as Amazon's free app of the day). It does everything i need and more. Feature rich, but not too complicated. Syncs all my calendars on all my devices.
Business Calendar at Play Store
Business Calendar is pretty good, but I currently use Touch Calendar for viewing and basic editing, Work Calendar for my irregular shift schedule entry needs and sometimes I get back to an old friend of mine from the Windows Mobile era, Pocket Informant. (I do not know if the later provides GTasks integration -- although I wouldn't be surprised if it did beautifully -- but it does incorporate a fairly extensive GTD moiety, meaning you can manage pretty much anything with a little creativity.
Just to throw one more calendar program in the ring for consideration:
I've been using Pimlical for Android for about 2 year now on my Droid Inc. I had previously used their program Datebook3, 4, 5 on my Palm phones and loved it.
So far, Pimlical Advanced Calendar has also been GREAT like Datebook was!

A friend of mine is getting her first ever smartphone and I want to help her transition as smoothly as possible. She will not give up her Hotmail account, so I need to find an app that will give her access to her emails, and preferably gives push notifications and allows easy attaching of documents.
I've been suckling on the Google/GMail teat for years and was mildly surprised when I 'unfroze' the native email app - it seems pretty decent. But it only gives options for attaching of pictures or videos, unlike the GMail app which has a generic 'attach file' button. Obviously I know that I could find my document using a file browser or other app and then 'share' it to the Email app, but this sort of 'well you can't do it this way, you have to do it that way' crap is what I want to avoid for my friend. I want everything to be obvious, easy and for her introduction to Android to be effortless.
Any suggestions, please? A free email app, with push, and easy file attachments of all types.
EDIT: I have just signed up for a Hotmail account so I can test apps myself. The Outlook.com app seems alright - anyone got experience using it? Any fatal flaws?
Try using [email protected] Mail Pro app. I use it since it pretty much unifies all of my email accounts in a neat way with plenty of customizations available for your taste. I especially like the fact that unlike with the built in app, I can create a unified email widget for all my accounts instead of having multiple widgets and it allows me to attach any kind of file, and has a pretty advanced editor. Try the free version first and see if you'd like to upgrade to the pro.

I use Aqua Mail which works very well for me, can sync with POP and IMAP accounts. Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kman.AquaMail.
Thanks guys, but after testing it myself I think my friend will be happy enough with the Outlook.com app (although the interface certainly isn't to my taste, it is simple enough and does what she needs).
